Please enter me in the giveaway. Would love to be drawn. But I do have a question. Is there a particular reason you use Boye needles? And what's the difference between steel and aluminum needles? Do one work better than the other?

Hola/ Hi Teresa I enjoy your blogs and have learnt so much from your videos. I live in Lanzarote it's one of the canary islands, Spain, off the coast of Africa. So all the best on your "13th crochet giveaway", Take care Fiona

If it's not too late, i'm very interested too in this giveway, (although I am French and I do not understand everything in English) I read your post regularly. I have always crochet and i'm very interested by all the things in this giveaway which are all unavailable in France (crochet hooks with intermediate size, the grips and the magazines in english)You can find me in my Flickr page :http://www.flickr.com/photos/alliandra/

Please enter me in the give away. I'm a firm believer that everyone needs something to keep them busy. Your website/blog does a wonderful job of helping a beginner learn to crochet. Thanks for your hard work.

I love to enter your give away, to﻿ continue crocheting for the needy, and to continue learning others stitches that the magazines might have. Good luck to all. Peace & love to all & many blessings...Rosie (RubyRosie1958)

I'd first like to thank you for the amazing tutorials you have posted on youtube. I was an amature at crochet...just knew how to make a chain stich...but thanks to your tutorial i was able to make a beanie cap for my two and a half month old using the single crochet stich and added the small rose flower to it. It turned our beauiful and my little one looks very pretty in it and likes wearing it too. I was about to go to the store to get some supplies to make other stuff..when she lets me....but would love to get the giveaway from my "Teacher" instead.

Thanks again for all the tutorials..you made crochet fun and easy:)..My you tube id is beebakapoor and thats my name beeba

Teresa, your instructional videos are wonderful! I still start more than one project at a time, but now I'm actually completing them and have given many away as gifts! (I must remember to photograph them first though!) Thank you SO much for showing us how to put written instructions into action. Watching the video while following the written instructions makes such a huge difference. It's so reassuring to have you "hold our hand" while we learn. PLEASE ENTER MY NAME IN YOUR CURRENT CONTEST! I hope to help one (or both) of my young nieces to crochet when they're ready. I really do LOL when I find myself having another one of those "AH HA!" moments! (c;

Hi, Teresa! Your videos are amazing, really easy to understand and follow! Thank you so much for all of them, I've learned the broomstick lace and star stitch techniques from you lately, but the videos you made for beginners are extremely useful too!

Extended or Long Double Crochet - This is where you will work a double crochet several stitches below the row you are on. You will need to pull up on the stitch and allow for some additional yarn, so the stitch does not sag.

Multiple: 4
You will add 4 chains for each segment of the pattern stitch that you want to add to the width.

Example: If you want to make a baby afghan with a size I/5.5mm crochet hook, 4-ply yarn, you will chain 108. This will give you an estimated width of 34 inches.

Ch 31Row 1: DC in 3rd CH from hook, DC in next CH, *CH 1, SK 1 CH, 1 DC in EA of next 3 CH. Continue across from * for width of pattern.

Drop Stitch - The drop stitch will be worked below the two previous row of shell stitches. Wrap the yarn over the hook, insert the hook 2 rows below, between the shell stitches, pull the yarn up. Repeat one more time for a total of 5 loops on the hook.

Row 1: DC in the 4th CH from the hook, DC in the next CH, Skip 4 chains, in the next CH(5th chain) work *2DC, CH1, 2DC, SK 4 CH's, Repeat from * across for the width, 1 DC in ea of the last 2 chains.
